That's a wrap!

I always hate it when General Conference is over! It's so exciting to look forward to, and so awesome while it's going on, and then BAM! It's back to earth.

Tonight's the night

60 Years: 환갑

It's time to party like it's 1956! The missions of Korea are celebrating a Hwangap (환갑), the 60th anniversary of the Church in Korea. A hwangap is the celebration of the completion of the 60-year lunar cycle.

There's going to be a huge celebration Friday night, Sept. 30, at Utah Valley University in Orem in the UCCU Events Center from 5 until 9 p.m. They expect there to be upwards of 5,000 people — it may be a couple of weeks before they get the kimchi smell out of there!

Anyway, it's going to be awesome!

General Conference throwback

I was really excited for General Conference because it IS rejuvenating for missionaries! It was also going to be cool because it was Sis. Green's first General Conference as a missionary. But then I remembered that it was also going to be my last one!

Be sure to watch the rest of General Conference this weekend. I just noticed that the Church website has something new: summaries of the conference talks! They've already posted those from the Women's Session!

Conference is going to be so cool — I guess it's not just missionaries that it's good for!

Mission memories: Another holiday tradition

Another one with Sis. Han before the egg dyeing incident, obviously. But only just.

#TBT

This is from back in Daegu when Sis. Han and I were getting along — and before the incident with the egg dye!

Sometimes missionary work can get a little tedious.  Elders have their ties they can use to spice things up. Sisters don't have quite as many options!

An aid to re-entry

The first few weeks were the hardest. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Oh, ice cream!

I guess there are some benefits to being back home!

In which I go for broke

Oh, my!

Using my skills

It's nice when skills you develop as a missionary transfer over into real life!

I've seen this before

Once more unto the breech

Some traditions may not be worth keeping up, if you know what I mean!
